“Ten Lessons.”

One.
The talent to win a heart
is equal to or less than
the ability to sing a song
while keeping another in the room.

Two.
When ambition is in peril,
sit inside an ice cold bath.
If melancholy remains,
slip your head below the water.
If you still feel drained,
take one deep breathe in—
and laugh out loud
about the bubbles.
Three.
If nobody else believes in you,
do not kill yourself
before moving to another city,
working a 9-5 job for the man,
and then trying ambition
all over again.

Four.
The talent to touch someone
is equal to or less than
the ability to instruct them
on what they really needed
before they ever met you.
